The three photon resonant, four photon ionization spectra of D₂ via the C ¹Πu, v'=0–4 levels are reported. The photoelectron spectra for all five bands and the photoelectron angular distribution via the C ¹Πu, v'=0--3←X ¹Σ⁺g, v''=0, Q(3) transitions are also reported. The photoelectron spectra are compared with theoretical Franck--Condon factors determined using accurate potential curves for the D₂ C ¹πu and D⁺₂ X ²Σ⁺g states. As in the case of H₂, the photoelectron spectra display non-Franck–Condon behavior, and the photoelectron angular distributions exhibit strong v⁺ dependences. The relation of the present results to earlier results on H₂ is discussed.
